CHAPTER 1
PART 2
Gu Lei cooked three dishes and a soup, served the meal, and called his wife and son to come and eat. The family of three sat at the dining table, with Gu Lei feeding Xiaotong while taking bites himself. Su Xiaotong said, "You should eat too, or the food will get cold."
"It's alright, I'll finish feeding Xiaoliang first and then eat. Come on, Xiaoliang, open your mouth. Ahh... good boy."
"Xiaoliang eats very slowly, it takes him over half an hour for a meal."
"It's okay, chewing slowly is good for digestion. I can just reheat my food in the microwave."
Su Xiaotong stopped talking and ate her meal silently.
After dinner, Gu Lei put on an apron and washed the dishes. Then, the family of three went for a walk outside. The most famous attraction in the city was the picturesque freshwater lake called Yuehai. The climate here was pleasant, like spring all year round, attracting many people from other places to vacation and settle down. Su Xiaotong's family was among them.
They had only moved to their new home three days ago. The residential area was located near Yuehai, with a beautiful name "Yuehai Bay." Their house faced Yuehai, on the twelfth floor, and standing on the balcony, they could enjoy the breathtaking view. It was this feature that made them decide to buy the house. Although it was a second-hand house, the renovation and furniture were all new. They heard that the previous owner hadn't lived there for long before being transferred to another city due to work. They considered themselves lucky to have found such a good deal, spending less than one million yuan to buy this well-decorated two-bedroom apartment.
In the evening, you can watch the sunset at Yuehai Beach. On the coastal promenade, every few hundred meters there is a Guanhai Pavilion extending into Yuehai. Gu Lei held his son in one hand and his wife in the other. In the purple sunset, the sun slowly sinks into the sea level, and the rising full moon declares its control over the night sky. Su Xiaotong stared at the full moon in a daze until Gu Lei reminded her that it was getting late and it was time to go home.
Every night, Su Xiaotong takes a bath first, and then Gu Lei takes a bath with his son. The father and son walked out of the bathroom in tank tops and shorts and went to bed together. Su Xiaotong picked up the children's storybook beside the bed and told Gu Xiaoliang a story. Gu Lei supported his head and looked at the mother and son with a happy expression on his face.

Gu Xiaoliang fell asleep after listening for a while. Gu Lei took his son aside and said to Su Xiaotong, "Let's turn off the lights and go to sleep."
Su Xiaotong glanced at the time on the phone, "It's only 9:50, isn't it too early?"
"I heard that people in Lishi go to bed early, so let's follow the local customs."
Su Xiaotong shook her head. "It's too early, I can't sleep. You go ahead and sleep, I'll watch a bit more drama." She put on her headphones as she spoke.
Gu Lei didn't want to force her, but he didn't go to sleep either. He sat on the bed, lost in thought. Su Xiaotong ignored him and continued watching the drama. Gu Lei watched her for a while, then glanced at the drama playing on his phone, appearing hesitant to speak.
Finally, when Su Xiaotong finished watching an episode, Gu Lei noticed that she wanted to continue watching. Unable to hold it in, he said, "Xiaotong, you... still want to watch?"
"What's wrong? Go to sleep."
"It's not that, I…"
Su Xiaotong glanced at him, ignoring him and continuing to watch the drama.
After waiting for a few more minutes, Gu Lei took off his vest, revealing his strong muscles. He reached into the covers and removed his shorts. After a while, he realized that Su Xiaotong didn't even glance at him. He had no choice but to grab her hand and guide it somewhere.
Su Xiaotong looked at Gu Lei, feeling the intensity of his gaze. She pulled her hand back and asked, "What do you want?"
"What do you think?"
Su Xiaotong paused the drama and looked at Gu Lei. "We agreed on once a month, remember?"
"That was in the past. Now that we're in Lishi and starting a new life..."
"It's still the same." Su Xiaotong said firmly, "The rules haven't changed."
"The rules are made by people. Besides, you see how… how much I'm struggling. Can you bear to see me in such discomfort?" Gu Lei pleaded pitifully.
"That's your own problem. If you can't control yourself, go to the bathroom and take care of it."
Gu Lei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately held back. After a minute, he quietly reached into the covers, pulled up his shorts, got out of bed, and walked towards the bathroom.
Su Xiaotong put on her headphones, intending to continue watching the drama, but she found herself unable to concentrate. She leaned against the headboard, sighed helplessly, and after hesitating for a while, she got off the bed and headed towards the bathroom.
